When you installing AGP card, please make sure the follow
ing notice is fully understood and practiced. If your AGP
card has "AGP 4X notch"(show below), please make sure
your AGP card is AGP 4X (1.5V).
Caution: AGP 2X(3.3V) card is not supported by Intel® 845
(E/G)/ Intel® 850(E) . You might experience system unable to
boot up normally. Please insert an AGP 4X/8X(1.5V) card
Example 1: Diamond Vipper V770 golden finger is compatible
with 2X/4X mode AGP slot. It can be switched between AGP 2X
(3.3V) or 4X(1.5V) mode by adjusting the jumper. The factory
default for this card is 2X(3.3V). The GA-8IE533 (or any AGP 4X
only) motherboards might not function properly, if you install this card
without switching the jumper to 4X(1.5) mode in it.
Example 2: Some ATi Rage 128 Pro graphics cards made by
"Power Color", the graphics card manufacturer & some SiS 305
cards, their golden finger is compatible with 2X/4X mode AGP
slot, but they support 2X(3.3V) only.The GA-8IE533 (or any AGP
4X only) motherboards might not function properly, If you install this
card in it.
Note : Although Gigabyte's AG32S(G) graphics card is based on
ATi Rage 128 Pro chip, the design of AG32S(G) is compliance
with AGP 4X (1.5V) specification. Therefore, AG32S (G)will work
fine with Intel® 845(E/G) / 850(E) based motherboards.

WARNING!
Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To
protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever
you work on your computer.
1.
Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have
one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as
the power supply case.
Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or
other components.
Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the
components whenever the components are separated from the system.
Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX
3.
4.
5.
ower connector on the motherboard.
Installing the motherboard to the chassis…
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don’tline up with the holes on the base and
there are no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to
the mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to
cut off, so be careful of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base
without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate
the screw from the motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be
careful, don’t let the screw contact any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the
fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

2. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to
the CPU fan connector, than install
complete.
1. Fasten the heatsink supporting-base
onto the CPU socket on the
mainboard.
M Please use Intel approved cooling fan.
M We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduction between
your CPU and heatsink.
(The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the thermal paste.
During this condition if you try to remove the cooling fan, you might pull the processor out
of the CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and might damage the processor. To avoid
this from happening, we suggest you to either use thermal tape instead of thermal paste, or
remove the cooling fan with extreme caution.)
M Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector, this completes
the installation.
M Please refer to CPU heat sink user’s manual for more detail installation procedure.

@ BIOS Introduction
Gigabyte announces @ BIOS
Windows BIOS live update utility
Have you ever updated BIOS by yourself? Or like
many other people, you just know what BIOS is,
but always hesitate to update it? Because you
think updating newest BIOS is unnecessary and
actually you don’t know how to update it.
Maybe not like others, you are very experienced in BIOS updating and spend quite a lot of
time to do it. But of course you don’t like to do it too much. First, download different BIOS from
website and then switch the operating system to DOS mode. Secondly, use different flash utility to
update BIOS. The above process is not a interesting job. Besides, always be carefully to store the
BIOS source code correctly in your disks as if you update the wrong BIOS, it will be a nightmare.
Certainly, you wonder why motherboard vendors could not just do something right to save
your time and effort and save you from the lousy BIOS updating work? Here it comes! Now
Gigabyte announces @BIOS— the first Windows BIOS live update utility. This is a smart BIOS
update software. It could help you to download the BIOS from internetand update it. Not like the
other BIOS update software, it’s a Windows utility. With the help of “@BIOS’, BIOS updating is no
more than a click.
Besides, no matter which mainboard you are using, if it’s a Gigabyte’s product*, @BIOS help
you to maintain the BIOS. This utility could detect your correct mainboard model and help you to
choose the BIOS accordingly. It then downloads the BIOS from the nearest Gigabyte ftp site
automatically. There are several different choices; you could use “Internet Update” to download
and update your BIOS directly. Or you may want to keep a backup for your current BIOS, just
choose “Save Current BIOS”to save it first. You make a wise choice to use Gigabyte, and
@BIOS update your BIOS smartly. You are now worry free from updating wrong BIOS, and
capable to maintain and manage your BIOS easily. Again, Gigabyte’s innovative product erects a
milestone in mainboard industries.
For such a wonderful software, how much it costs? Impossible! It’s free! Now, if you buy a
Gigabyte’s motherboard, you could find this amazing software in the attached driver CD. But
please remember, connected to internet at first, then you could have a internet BIOS update from
your Gigabyte @BIOS.

Easy TuneTM 4 Introduction
Gigabyte announces EasyTuneTM 4
Windows based Overclocking utility
EasyTune 4 carries on the heritage so as to pave the way for future generations.
Overclock" might be one of the most common issues in computer field. But have many users ever
tried it? The answer is probably "no". Because
"Overclock" is thought to be very difficult and includes a lot of technical know-how, sometimes
"Overclock" is even considered as special skills
found only in some enthusiasts. But as to the experts in "Overclock", what's the truth? They may
spend quite a lot of time and money to study, try
and use many different hardware or BIOS tools to
do "Overclock". And even with these technologies, they still learn that it's quite a risk because the
safety and stability of an "Overclock" system is unknown. Now everything is different because of a
Windows based overclocking utility "EasyTune 4" --announced by Gigabyte. This windows based
utility has totally changed the gaming rule of "Overclock". This is the first windows based overclocking
utility is suitable for both normal and power users. Users can choose either "Easy Mode" or "Advanced Mode" for overclocking at their convenience. For users who choose "Easy Mode", they just
need to click "Auto Optimize" to have autoed and immediate CPU overclocking. This software will
then overdrive CPU speed automatically with the result being shown in the control panel. If users
prefer "Overclock" by them, there is also another choice. Click "Advanced Mode" to enjoy "sport
drive" class Overclocking user interface. "Advanced Mode", allows users to change the system bus
/ AGP / Memory working frequency in small increments to get ultimate system performance. It
operates in coordination with Gigabyte motherboards. Besides, it is different from other traditional
over-clocking methods, EasyTune 4 doesn't require users to change neither BIOS nor hardware
switch/ jumper setting; on the other hand, they can do "Overclock" at easy step . Therefore, this is
a safer way for "Overclock" as nothing is changed on software or hardware. If user runs EasyTune
4 over system's limitation, the biggest lost is only to restart the computer again and the side effect
is then well controlled. Moreover, if one well-performed system speed has been tested in EasyTune
4, user can "Save" this setting and "Load" it in next time. Obviously, Gigabyte EasyTune 4 has
already turned the "Overclock" technology toward to a newer generation. This wonderful software
is now free bundled in Gigabyte motherboard attached in driver CD. Users may make a test drive of
"EasyTune 4" to find out more amazing features by themselves.
*Some Gigabyte products are not fully supported by EasyTune 4. Please find the products supported list
in the web site.
*Any "Overclocking action" is at user's risk, Gigabyte Technology will not be responsible for any
damage or instability to your processor, motherboard, or any other components.
